I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if ( Read more... )

I've been wretchedly busy, but I can see the clouds starting to clear ahead and there is writing on the horizon. I sincerely apologize for being absent for so long. I think I worried a few of you--thanks to those of you who messaged me privately to be sure I was still amongst the living.

Yes, I am and I have writing to coming up.

So, we bought a new house, and we officially moved in about a week ago. I am still living amongst boxes while I juggled necessity: should I paint that bookcase now? Or hope I have the initiative to do it later? What about my dress? Vanity? I need more bookshelves! Why do I have so many freaking books!??? OMG I'M DROWNING IN BOXES!

The husband and ( Read more... )

I'm beginning to wonder if i didn't title my fic what I did because my house is literally full of dust. I have just spent the better part of four hours cleaning TWO small bookcases in my kitchen. Two. Pulling everything off of them, scrubbing off the thick layer of grease/dust/pet hair that always seems to build up in kitchens, and which you don't ( Read more... )

I compartmentalize my life so much.

There's "Day Job" and "Theater Stuff" and "Fandom." There's "Family" and "Friends" and "People Who I'd Like To Punch In The Throat." There's "Art" and "Writing" and "Acting" and "Designing."

Some things cross all boundaries, but most get their little sliver of my life, and when I put them away and take out ( Read more... )

I'm not dead. Yet ( Read more... )

So, can I just say (in the immortal words of Keanu Reeves) "Whoa!"

Seriously guys...

Thank you, each and every one of you who have read and who voted for "DUST" in the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards. I'm absolutely floored and flattered and flustered and many other things beginning with the letter f. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know I' ( Read more... )

First: apologies for not posting last week's chapter of DUST until today. LJ wouldn't let me post it last week, and then I got lazy. It's been up over at Elysian Fields, Bloodshedverse, and the pit of voles (Fanfiction.net) for over a week now -- so in the future if you feel like there should have been an update and LJ is being particularly wonky, ( Read more... )

Due to Real Life, today's chapter of DUST isn't ready to post yet. We're working on that. It may go up late tonight, or possibly tomorrow.

In the meantime, much, much love to my betas for all their incredible work and dedication--in sickness and in health, you guys rock.

While I'm thinking about it:

My original story summary for DUST was meant to keep ( Read more... )

Something I've noticed, both on my last story and this one:

What is it with readers calling Buffy dumb?

I know I don't purposefully write her as a dumb character. I try my best to write her as close to in character as I can. Buffy's not book smart, admittedly (though she's smart enough to get good grades on the SAT). She's street savvy, intuitive, ( Read more... )
